JURY.

monday morning i had to show up to court b/c they called me up for jury duty. i was quite excited about this. partly (honestly) b/c i was excited to get out of work. also, b/c i am interested in the procedure. Heck, i worked in a law firm for nearly a year. the attorneys would often rush out to court while i was stuck dealing w/ the unruly clients. anywho... i end up getting picked for the 8 member jury! i nearly wet myself. no one else wanted to be there. i just knew i was getting away from the jaws of one unhappy kid for a few days. so...i've been at the court house since monday listening to attorneys bicker and try to one up each other. it's humerous to hear them attempt to make themselves look better in front of the juries...when we all have labeled them, 'mr. rude' and 'mr. grumpy-pants.' but, we don't judge on if we like the attorney or not. the trial has run a bit longer than antcipated. we must report back on TUESDAY next week....and perhaps finish everything by wednesday. this has gotten me out of work for 4.5 days! sweet!

i went back to work today for half the day. i got bit on the leg. yes...the leg. who gets bit on the leg? ME! but, the greatest thing was that the kids missed me. even my little biting charge missed me. i can think of it as a 'loving bite.' sigh. i'll keep telling myself this.

ok...so, this post was going to be longer and more exciting. but, alas. it's short and boring. i'm talking to eric and debra online. so...blame them. this is what i have been up to the last week. that...and listening to mutemath a lot. love um.

and...i must mark down a converation i had w/ sickels about stuff. it was quite freeing and healing for me.
